I guess it would depend on how you are using it. If you pass it as a
struct and really need everything, then I don't see a problem (as in,
you are updating a user, and the form contains all that information you
need). But in cases where it would be lying to say "I need a struct,"
which would hide the real value you want, then I think that would be
bad. An example of this would be something like calculateTax(form).
Well, you don't want form, you want only the price stored in the form.
I think this actually ties into the discussion on argumentCollection.
You don't want your CFC to know about your form structure. But, if
you know that your form structure has the arguments that the method
needs, you can use argumentCollection to pass in the whole form
structure - with each field being used as a separate argument.
